What is non limited slip differential?
The term "Non Limited Slip Differential" is Ford's way of telling you that your differential isn't special. A limited slip differential has clutches in it that stop a spinning wheel (the one that isn't getting traction) and send the power to the one that has traction, so the vehicle can get out of snow or mud. A non limited slip differential can only send power to one wheel at a time, which is the one with the least amount of rolling resistance (the one not getting traction).
